Computer keeps trying to install XP professional

I have XP home and whenever I start up my computer or open any
microsoft app it tries to install XP professional. I have
to cancel every time I start my computer or open an app. How do I
get it to stop trying to install XP professional?

Is it win XP pro of office pro :) anyways i think you meant office professional :)

if its xp pro
Do you have a Cd or an image containing xp pro mounted? If so that is why you are getting this problem. Make sure remove any CD's from the drive.

if its office pro and you have multiple accounts on your computer do this :)
It might be that you are using office as a user of your PC and NOT as administrator in which case it means you have to go back to your administrator profile and make a FULL INSTALL (all features installed on my computer) of OFFICE professional and the problem goes.

Some webcams and programs require additional software, although that should be installed with the webcam if things are right.

But is does not harm to check if your Java, Flash andQuicktimesoftware are installed and up to date.
But certainly check your DirectX software, since all video applications, including webcams, use DirectX for video processing.

I had this problem before..you need to clean the registry files stored in your computers harddrive. The problem you are having now is that the flashplayer will not complete the download because the old flashplayer is priority even though you have upgraded your browser. I spent a few days when this happened to me. Try this free registry cleaner from CNET, click on the link and download it. After you download it, install it and run the program and it will clean all of your old files out of the harddrive. It will find and delete the old versions of Adobe. After you do that, resart the computer and redownload Adobe flash player.http://download.cnet.com/Abexo-Free-Registry-Cleaner/3000-2094_4-10434886.html

Try doing an update from the Microsoft website.If you have, do you have an antivirus or firewall running? Turn off one at a time until you can see your browser.I would recommend Firefox as well. Just for added security.
